Customer Reviews

Does not disappoint.
I was looking for something special for the wife this year. Did a lot of shopping around and landed on fluance. I had questions before making a decision about which set up was suitable, customer support responded quickly and helped me understand what I needed and why.
The speakers are amazing. We only have a small house but they are more than sufficient without a sub.
Record player and speakers have a quality finish and feel.
Wife absolutely loves it. Probably the best gift I've ever given. Makes our house a home. -
Very easy to set up and is high quality equipment. Sounded great out of the box. Can't wait to turn it up (of course after the 8-10 hrs)!!!!! Highly recommend!

Can I connect Ai81 to a amplifier or A/V receiver?
No, the Ai81 Powered Floorstanding speakers have their own internal power source and cannot be connected to an amplifier or A/V Receiver for surround sound use.

Can Ai81 be connected to a turntable?
Yes! You can connect your turntable to the Ai81 speakers using either RCA input. The speakers do not have a built-in preamp. You will need to confirm if your turntable will require an external preamp.
